COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - A few would-be burglars learned the hard way not to mess with grandma.

Just as Elaine Stiehl, 78, was about to take her nap, she heard a noise coming from the front of her home, Coweta County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Col. James Yarbrough told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Stiehl grabbed her pistol, loaded it and stepped into the hallway to find two men, who allegedly broke into her home, police said.

Someone needs to advise her to keep her weapon
loaded and ready, and to not hesitate to shoot
intruders in her home. Fortunately, they did run
away, but they could have just a easily tried to
overpower the poor woman.

True. Fortunately she lives in Coweta, so no one is talking about whether charges will be filed against her for brandishing a weapon. :screwy:
